Updated My Digger motor

[watersracing]

My car 60' in the low 1.40's with this setup in a pan car...

[madmike]

1:40's is great

I am on a 6" slick though.... I have to stop looking at this thread... i keep getting the feeling of wanting a rail like that and I know I only need one race car...lol

Whats the wheel base? Does it pass NHRA tech?

[madmike]

150" dout it will pass NHRA tech, It's a record holding sand digger built by Jon Sorg,from what I'm told it still holds the record

[John S.]

Whats your local track say? Are they just concerned that you stay under a certain speed?

My buddy has one sitting in a custum enclosed trailer. Last ran in the mid 80's. Doug Nash trans and 8 3/4 rear. Kinda a big undertaking. All one off hand built.

Keep us posted

Never a problem with the Tracks up here no concern with speed Digger goes straight as an arrow too Thanks,Madmike

I had to change the EMPI Valve covers at the last minute could not get them to seal dug up some OEM's an welded tabs for the gaskets installed breathers,so far so good I'll post how it runs at the race today,Thanks,madmike

I have the bolt on cb covers and use the c channel gaskets. So far so good and no leaks

I made one pass and the carb linkage fell off re-installed did it 3 more times then pressure plate issues put it on the trailer I'll pull the motor when I rest up :mrgreen
I did beat the 38 Plymouth Gasser on that pass

Good deal on the round win...sorry it has to come out

Thanks WR,,ended up being a rear main bearing/case and crank issues flywheel was tight too I was not the original builder but I'm guessing the fit of this bearing was off It didn't spin but was loose in the case,and pounded the piss out of it Your thoughts Guys??????? Thanks,

[madmike]

Case is not as bad as expected gonna get fixed with a line bore and thrust cut,crank is going to get turned too I'm glad it can be saved

[watersracing]

What case are you running in that rail?

[madmike]

Don't have it in front of me but I think it's a stock AE# welded behind #3
